“Everybody in the USA welcomed the firm assurances which Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic gave, regarding solving the case of Bytyqi brothers. That was the thing that hold the relations between Serbia and America “tense” for long time, because families deserve to know what happened,” says political analyst Obrad Kesic.
He says that Serbia received strong support for Euro integrations from all the interlocutors. Still, this was an opportunity that Serbia, with this visit, “draws out” more and asks for support when it comes to negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina. “In this case PM Vucic did not ask anything from the US, but he should do it. There is a political will on the Serbian side, as opposed to Pristina, from which now the further developments depend,” said Kesic.
“The US officials had mainly negative impressions about the visit. However, when they saw the determination on the road to the EU and when it comes to reforms, they were pleasantly surprised. In fact, Serbia is today at the place where the United States wanted it to be 20 years ago, so I see it as something significant, historic and very supportive,” stated Kesic.
